Overview


Kashmir, with its beauty, has been mesmerizing travelers for ages. The backpackers who are just starting their traveling journey often magnify their list by adding the Kashmir backpacking trip to it. Beyond any doubt, the majestic view of Kashmir induces wanderers; however, the everlasting experience during the Christmas and New Year season adds even more magic to it. This paradise can be adored in abundant ways and has been celebrated in the form of couplets and songs, but a trip to Kashmir is the only way to explore this paradise and make it memorable. The Kashmir backpacking trip is an astonishing experience—not only does it allow you to see the beauty of nature, but it also helps you experience true peace and tranquility. This trip is meant to bestow you with this everlasting experience itself, especially during the joyful Christmas festivities. Discover the wonder of Kashmir with our all-inclusive Kashmir tour starting from Srinagar. This Kashmir backpacking trip itinerary begins at a rendezvous point in Srinagar, where you’ll meet the trip captain. You will be given a brief introduction before commencing the perfect journey to the exquisite Kashmir. After checking in to your designated houseboat, you’ll be able to experience the Shikara ride in the pristine Dal Lake. It is a serene location that gives a whole new floating experience, and it’s no wonder it's called a “Jewel in Kashmir’s crown.” After enjoying the magnificent sunset, you’ll have a lovely overnight stay on the boats, creating memories perfect for the New Year celebrations.


That’s when we’ll head to our Kashmir backpacking trip’s second destination, Gulmarg, following the Drung Waterfall. Gulmarg, the most popular hill station in Kashmir, has snow-covered meadows and skiing slopes that will catch your eye, making it a winter wonderland ideal for Christmas and New Year festivities. This astonishing place in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir is often recognized as the "heartland of winter sports in India." If you’re into snow activities or want to experience one, then this small valley will be the ideal place for you to spend your time. You can indulge in the Gulmarg Gondola Ride and enjoy the aerial views of the valley. After that, we’ll head towards the world’s highest green golf course to experience the best of our time and perhaps a New Year toast amidst stunning views.


On the next day, you will experience the thrill of visiting one of the most captivating places, Pahalgam, which is next on our Kashmir trip itinerary. Pahalgam is Kashmir’s beautiful hill station known for its sightseeing and astonishing meadows. It is considered a mystical or extremely spiritual place because of the presence of the holy Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage. After taking some rest at our checked-in hotels in Pahalgam, we’ll visit two prominent valleys named Aru Valley and Betaab Valley to spend some time with ourselves, perhaps reflecting on the joys of Christmas and hopes for the New Year. As we move towards Chandanwadi, you will have the opportunity to do many snow activities like skiing and snowboarding. With this, we’ll conclude our sightseeing and get back to our hotels for rest. The real gem of this Kashmir tour will come into the picture when we reach our next destination, Sonmarg. It is the hidden gem that embraces the beauty of Kashmir and gives tourists a whole new breathtaking experience with its green pastures and water bodies. After enjoying a peaceful time at Yousmarg Valley, we will return to our hotels. The next morning will be the departure day of our Kashmir tour, where everyone will be heading back as scheduled, perhaps reminiscing about the Christmas and New Year memories created.

You will not only be taking back your backpacks but also numerous memories that you would love to relive again, enriched by the spirit of Christmas and the hope of the New Year.


Join us for Christmas and New Year Celebrations, featuring 2+2 Snacks, Music, Cake, and a Bonfire (weather dependent) to add even more joy to your trip!
